UNSPSC 41102403: Laboratory incinerators

UNSPSC 41102403 Laboratory incinerators is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers the furnishing, installation, and commissioning of incinerators for animal carcass and evidence disposal, not bench-top laboratory equipment. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county government agencies with animal control and public health functions. The work involves end-to-end project delivery—removal of existing units, supply of new equipment compliant with EPA and state environmental standards, on-site installation and testing, operator training, and multi-year warranty and maintenance obligations. Bidders must hold state general contractor licensing, comply with prevailing-wage and set-aside requirements where applicable, and carry performance bonds and commercial general liability insurance.

Henry County, Georgia posted the only recent solicitation under this code—Bid 27-12, Incinerator for Animal Care and Control, a sealed-bid IFB due September 24, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The county is replacing an existing unit with a new incinerator capable of processing approximately 9,000 pounds of animal remains monthly, including condemned evidence and controlled substances, and requires compliance with EPA, CFR, OSHA, and Georgia Environmental Protection Division standards. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit was held September 3, 2026. Henry County established a zero percent DBE participation goal, though bidders must demonstrate good faith efforts to engage certified small, local, veteran-owned, and minority or woman-owned businesses. Bid bonds of not less than five percent are required, as are one-year parts and labor warranties and two-year paint warranties. The contract term will be determined following the successful bidder's proposed timeline. Georgia activity dominates the recent pipeline for this code.
